Locked nuts, HELP! 700

Hi!

Well, just starting on my water pump replacement job I am hitting a big snag!

I have been trying for the past 2-3 hours to remove the 4 nuts holding the fan, and even though I've been able to remove one, the other 3 remain stuck. Of course the wrench was not sufficient, but even after I've soaked all the nuts with PR Blaster (several times over the past 3 hours), and tried to force them out with some strong RoboGrip pliers (I managed to take one nut off with these) and using all my strenght, they just won't budge.

Any ideas?? Of course the nuts are now a bit messed up but I'll just replace them as long as the bolts don't get damaged.

Thanks!
